34. The expert from the European Commission gave a status report (informal document GRSP-79-08) on the activities of the GRSP Task Force on Automated Vehicles Regulation Screening (TF-AVRS). The task force had reviewed all documents adopted last session and submitted an informal document (WP.29-199-06) to WP.29 to correct minor mistakes in three of them before their final adoption. Regarding future work, two gaps currently remained: crash test speeds for low-speed automated vehicles and new steering equipment types. He introduced two proposals for early feedback. Informal document GRSP-79-10 proposes to amend UN Regulation No. 127 (Pedestrian safety) to account for category Y vehicles (without occupants). All other crashworthiness requirements for category Y vehicles are grouped in a new UN Regulation (informal document GRSP-79-09). The text and requirements are based on UN Regulations Nos. 94, 95, 137 and 153. For the annexes, rather than repeating the test procedures present in those UN Regulations, wherever possible, references are made to the original text in the base regulations. The expert from the European Commission announced their intention to submit working documents for the next GRSP session.

9. The expert from IEEE, Co-Secretary of the Informal Working Group (IWG) on Artificial Intelligence (AI) presented informal document GRVA-26-07 on the progress of the group’s work. She informed GRVA that the IWG was considering developing a revised approach to the draft reference document (WP.29-199-06) presented to WP.29 in June 2026, with the aim of improving its structure, readability and long-term relevance while maintaining its scope and objectives. She also reported on the proposed extension of the IWG mandate and outlined the planned timeline towards the submission of a formal reference document in 2027. GRVA was informed that the ongoing work would focus on clarifying the scope of AI use cases covered by the document, improving the description of AI applications and benefits, and further developing concepts for the management of AI-related risks in the automotive sector.

10. GRVA took note of the information provided by the Co-Secretary of the IWG on AI.
